Large Art Deco Oil on Canvas – Stylized Woman, Signed Ardoon (circa 1980) – 100 x 65.5 cm
Price: €1,650 (best offer possible)
Description: Magnificent large oil on canvas signed Ardoon, dated circa 1980. Its imposing vertical format (100 cm x 65.5 cm) immediately draws the eye.
This work is a superb example of the Art Deco style revisited in the 1980s: a highly stylized, almost masked female portrait, exuding a modern and sophisticated sensuality. The immense, luminous eye dominates the composition, the mouth with its full, carmine-red lips adds intense glamour, while the coppery hair with metallic highlights frames the face like a monumental headdress. The bust is draped in a deep, vibrant red fabric that contrasts with the plain olive-green background.
Details:
• Signed lower right "Ardoon"
• Original label on the back: "WOMAN ART DECO OIL ON CANVAS"
• Very good overall condition (a few small stains and minor imperfections visible in the photos, normal for a canvas of this period)
• Canvas stretched on its original frame
Artist Biography: Ardoon was a Belgian artist of Sicilian origin, a close friend of the seller's mother. In addition to her painting, she designed costumes for the Royal Opera. Her work is characterized by theatrical elegance, clean lines, and a strong sense of femininity.
